While recombinant CYP2C19 and CYP2C9 proteins expressed in yeast or Escherichia coli have been shown to oxidize these agents, the capacity of the corresponding native P450s isolated from human liver to do so is ill defined.

Despite its tolbutamide hydroxylase activity, the low levels of hepatic CYP2C19expression (relative to CYP2C9) may preclude an important role for this enzyme in hepatic tolbutamide metabolism and any polymorphisms thereof.

Finally, CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 cDNA-expressed forms of human CYP did not allow PPX formation, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 produced only small amounts whereas CYP3A4 most efficiently metabolized bupivacaine into PPX.

The drug is widely distributed in the body, with low protein binding and a high volume of distribution (see Table 2).118,119 Following oral absorption, venlafaxine undergoes extensive first-pass hepatic metabolism, where conversion to the active metabolite, desvenlafaxine, occurs via demethylation.157 This reaction is mediated by CYP2D6.120 Desvenlafaxine is further metabolized by CYP3A4.122 Other metabolic pathways for venlafaxine include N-demethylation which is probably mediated by CYP3A4.157 CYP2C9 and CYP2C19isoenzymes may also be involved in the metabolic pathways of both drugs.121

IL-6 reduces mRNA expression for several cytochrome (CYP)450 isoenzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4) in vitro, and this is reversed by coincubation with TCZ at clinically relevant concentrations.
